Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy 1
Discussion Questions:
1. Paul begins the letter with words of encouragement (throughout Chapter 1). What does he remind Timothy of and why? What sources of encouragement do you have in your life? In what ways do you need more encouragement to live the life Christ is calling you to?
2. Verse 6 implores Timothy to "fan into flame" the gift of God - the Holy Spirit. What must we do to keep our "flames" burning brightly. Has there been a time in your life when through neglect, you felt like you were left with only ashes and no flame? What did you learn from those circumstances?
3. Read verses 12-14, what is Paul counting on as a consolation for his suffering? What are we to "guard" with the help of the Holy Spirit?
4. In both letters Paul proclaims his appointment as a herald, an apostle and a teacher. What is your "role" in God's workforce? Have you ever asked God to reveal what talents you can bring to bear to help advance his kingdom?
